Whats going on with me when i sleep?!


Question: Whats going on with me when i sleep!?
Okay sometimes when I'm sleeping I'll like kind of wake up but like im kind of paralyzed!. Like I'll be lying there in my bed unable to move!. And like i can hear stuff and I know if someone is around me but like I cant move and I cant open my eyes and like it seems that I don't need to breathe like it feels like im not breathing!. And for me to wake myself up out of this situation it takes me a lot of energy and sometimes I cant even wake myself up and like I'll just have to wait there and wait for my body to wake myself up!. I don't know whats happening to me!. Can you tell me!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
AH! My little sister gets this all the time!. It is called sleep paralysis!. It is where your body is stuck in REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement!.!.!. where your body is dreaming)!. While you are in REM sleep, your body paralyzes itself so you don't hurt yourself while sleeping!. When you wake up during REM sleep, you are paralyzed!. Sleep Paralysis is most often onset during the teenage years!.!.!. and normally goes away as you get older!.

The best way to get rid of it is to try and fall back asleep and then wake back up and you will be able to move!. Sometimes it is extremely difficult to fall back asleep, because it is scary to wake up and be paralyzed!.

Here's a link from Standford on sleep paralysis: http://www!.stanford!.edu/~dement/paralysi!.!.!.

Also, you can Google it now that you know the name of it!. Have a nice day =)Www@Answer-Health@Com
